Title: Eternal Life
Contents :
The text tells us that after performing the miracle of five diseases, when the disciples forgot to bring bread and were worried, many people experienced the five diseases, and the next day, they came to visit Jesus, who had already gone to the other side of Capernaum.
It was then that Jesus spoke to them.
26-27 Work for food that endures to everlasting life.
They asked Jesus.
28 They asked him, What must we do to do the work of God?
At this time Jesus answered.
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "It is the work of God that you believe in him whom God has sent."
What is this bread that Jesus is talking about today?
In short, Jesus Christ is the living Word of God.
Bread of Life: Because it is directly related to life.
True food: It is food that came down from heaven. Since Jesus also came down from heaven, it is food from heaven.
Flesh of the Son of Man: Because he tore all his flesh on the cross, we are made alive.
Whoever eats this bread will live forever. It seems like a blessing that a person lives without dying, but it is unfortunate for a fallen life.
The next life will never die.
Those who gain eternal life and enter the kingdom of heaven are blessed, glorified, and full of joy, but living forever in the dark powers of hell will be very painful.
To eat bread means to believe in Jesus.
I will never hunger (35)
never cast out (37)
Those who believe in Jesus, who is the bread of life, will not be forsaken before God.
never die but live forever (50)
There is new satisfaction in our life.
What Jesus gives us is eternal life in this life and in the life to come.
What will Christians live for?
The disciples came to know the omnipotence of Jesus as they experienced the miracle of the Five Bites.
I have experienced that there is no need to worry about anything with him.
But while they were traveling across the sea in a boat, they were worried that someone would not bring the leftover bread.
So today Jesus said these words.
The perishable bread for this body also refers to all worldly things.
May the feast of Jesus Christ, who gives eternal life, abound in our homes.
